The My LaCroix meme trend took the internet by storm in 2016, following the launch of a parody website that allowed users to design their own cans of the popular sparkling water brand. Known for its distinctively minimalist aesthetic and subtle, often criticized 'hints' of flavor, LaCroix became the perfect target for internet satire. Users began creating absurd and relatable flavors ranging from 'Hot Dog Water' to 'Existential Dread,' poking fun at the brand's branding and the cult-like following of flavored seltzer. Today, the My LaCroix template remains a staple for social commentary, allowing creators to wrap any concept in the familiar, pastel-swirled packaging of a 12-ounce can.
